My son designed and printed this village - New Buildings
« on: 14 February 2019, 05:57:49 PM »
Our son (Hami on the forum) bought himself a 3D printer and, having bought me some Late Romans and Dark Age figures at Christmas, asked if there was anything that he could print for me.  I could not think of anything right away.  He is a qualified draughtsman and so I asked for a generic village.  He designed the buildings himself and added a few bits downloaded from the internet.

So here it is.


The Church and an A-Frame hut (lift off roof is card covered in an old towel)



A typical house with a couple of bee hives over the wall. (lift off roof is card covered in an old towel)

Another one


The Grain Store on stilts


The mill - it is on stilts and I still have to make a proper base for it with a weir, mill race and a horizontal mill wheel. (lift off roof is card covered in an old towel)




The Blacksmith (lift off roof is card covered in an old towel)


A-Frame huts (hollow but no lift off roof)


The pig sty without thatch is a failed early attempt but which I painted up anyway.

Hey Dad, thanks for the mention. The true glory goes to you and your expert painting skills. The roofs look awesome and there is no way that I would off been able to design something that looks so good.

I am going to print off your Barn and Chiefs house this weekend so they will be done.

Thanks again for mention and thanks guys for the feedback.

Looking forward to my next project.

I have started printing terrain for my games and have a load of those fences already. Will you be sharing the building files on thinggivers or selling them somewhere?

Best bet would be to PM my son (Hami) in thread above.  He is in the army and not always logged in here.

Thanks for the feedback,

As for Thingiverse, I have an account (Hami9209), I will not be posting my Dark Age village on there. If you are interested in buying the .stl files please as my Dad has said PM me direct as I can not always guarantee that I will be on the forums at sensible times etc.

Its a relaxing Hobby to have really. I sit and design a few things (currently working on WW2 Normandy Farm house, 28mm scale), and then you just print. the only annoying part is listening to the printer,
